Pokemon theme park for 2020?

According to a report from Florida TV station WFTV, Universal Studios is expected to launch a Pokémon Park as soon as 2020.

The information comes from the channel's news anchor Jamie Holmes, who along with Theme Park University blogger Josh Young, has spoken to numerous sources inside the company who say Pokémon is indeed coming to Universal Orlando. This new Pokémon dreamland is expected to be added to the KidZone section alongside Woody Woodpecker and Barney.

Originally, that particular area was planned to become home to new Mario Kart and Donkey Kong roller coasters, but these will apparently now join part of a larger Nintendo-themed park that is set to be built on Universal's latest land purchase near Kirkman Avenue.

Of course, we already knew that a Nintendo park was coming to Orlando - albeit a few years after the proposed 2020 Super Nintendo World at Universal in Tokyo - but the addition of a separate Pokémon area suggests that Nintendo has secured a very decent amount of park space.

Fortnite Switch Rumored To Be Showcased at E3

It’s just a matter before Fortnite Switch becomes a reality. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t considering how popular both are, Fortnite and the Nintendo Switch, as well as the game running on Unreal Engine 4 which is fully supported by the hybrid console. Today a new rumor about Fortnite Switch hit the Web via a group of leakers posting on the Twitter account @LeakyPandy . They’ve managed to correctly leak several tidbits of information ahead of March’s Nintendo Direct presentation, thus earning some credibility.

Mario Tennis Aces impressions: unrelenting pressure in multiplayer

Mario Tennis Aces is a game of pressure. Relentless pressure, if you’re going to play against live competition. I figured this out about six matches into the demo tournament Nintendo staged this weekend — and I got throttled in all of them. I had a brutal introduction to the game’s multiplayer, sometimes perturbed by lag, and frequently determined by who built up their energy meter the fastest to unleash near-unstoppable attacks. The game, launching June 22 on Nintendo Switch, does give players some defensive tools, such as a “trick shot” that is more about getting a player to the ball in a hurry, and the ability to slow time. But against a human player, once placed on the defensive, it is hard as hell to retake control — and in Mario Tennis Aces, even a modestly skilled receiver can take it away from the server on the first return. This is, I suppose, a tribute to Mario Tennis Aces’ gameplay, because that’s how tennis is supposed to work in real life, right? Still the slice (Y on the ...

Pokémon Switch rumors leave fans guessing about the next game

A LOGO The biggest clue, according to fans, Twitter and forum users, comes from 4chan. A thread on the image board’s Pokémon section suggests that Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu Edition and Pokémon Let’s Go! Eevee Edition are two Switch games coming this fall, the first pair from the Pokémon franchise to hit the console. Attached is art of a potential logo for these titles, which users see as lending further credence to the alleged leak. GAMEPLAY CLUES — AND A VIDEO COMPILATION So there’s reason to have doubt about the logo’s veracity. But an earlier thread from 4chan contains details that do sound more plausible. All the way back on March 31, a separate thread claimed to offer the first details of the upcoming Pokémon Switch game. This anonymous user wrote that Let’s Go! would be “[ Pokémon Yellow ] remakes for Switch” sold in both Pikachu and Eevee versions; the games would star Red and Blue, the original trainer and rival from ...
